King of Kings.
June had never heard of it before. However, as his teammates played the commercial for the K-pop survival show on the TV in their practice room, everything started making sense.
Still images of the stage were shown on screen. It was reminiscent of the stage they had during Rising Stars. However, this time, it was definitely more grand—more fit for idols and not mere trainees.
Then, a female robotic voice started speaking as the lights danced on the stage.
"The prince, adorned in music's grace."
"Bows to seek the king in this sacred space."
A loud bass resonated in the room, startling the members of EVE.
"A throne awaits, anointed with song."
"The king's identity, to whom does it belong?"
"Holy shit. This is so cool," Akira exclaimed as the camera panned to Kim Wonbin, a popular host and comedian in Korea, standing at the center of the large stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ultimate battleground of K-pop excellence! Get ready for a musical spectacle like no other!"
"It's time to determine the king of kings!"
With that, the commercial came to an end, leaving the group to chat excitedly with one another.
June, however, stayed silent, trying to internalize what he just watched.
King of Kings.
It was definitely the first time he had heard its title. However, it dawned on him that it was a franchise of the popular survival show 'Queen of Queens.'
Mei Ling was a fan of survival shows, so June also recalled her watching it. However, it wasn't the type of show she religiously watched, so June didn't know much about it.
All he knew was that chosen girl groups or soloists competed with performances, remixes, covers, and even original songs to determine who was the best among the group.
June also remembered it having a lot of drama, which was Mei Ling's favorite aspect of the show.
Aside from that, June recalled GIRLS' EVOLUTION joining the first season of the show. They got third place out of seven artists, but they also made quite a lot of enemies. Up to this day, there were rumors that most of the groups who participated in the first season of 'Queen of Queens' were still not on speaking terms.
"Wait," Ren suddenly said. "You're speaking with Kiera?"
Zeth froze while the other members suspiciously stared at him.
"You got her number, right?" Casper suddenly said, making the members even more suspicious.
Zeth cleared his throat. "That's not what's important. What's important is we start practicing for the opening performance again. We need to change a lot of things since June's back."
Although they were still suspicious, the members decided to forgo the issue...for now.
"I still don't think we're heading the right route, though," Ren said. "I feel like we could do so much more for our opening performance."
"That's true," Jisung sighed. "It's because we heard about the show quite late. I heard from Jay that some of the groups already knew they were going to be part of the project since December of last year."
"Wait, when did you guys hear about this?" June asked, joining the conversation.
"About a week ago," Sehun responded.
"How come I didn't hear about it?" June asked.
Ren frowned in confusion. "Didn't Jay tell you about it?"
"He didn't," June said.
Jaeyong cleared his throat. "Actually, Jay told me he didn't tell you about it."
June frowned. "Why not? I'm part of the group, aren't I?"
"That's what I also told him," Jaeyong said. "But he said it was an order from the higher-ups. They were expecting you not to be able to join the first episode anyway, so they said it was no use."
"No use?" June asked. "I was projected to be discharged from the hospital three days from now, though. I'm sure we still have time."
His members stayed silent, glancing at each other with knowing looks.
"What?" June asked in confusion.
Jaeyong awkwardly chuckled, scratching the back of his neck.
"Well, the thing is...we don't have much time."
"The first episode will be filmed one week from now."
June's jaw dropped.
It felt like Rising Stars all over again!
